German authorities now believe that sometime that year, Atta began touching base with a wide range of people connected to terrorism. They point to his association with a Syrian businessman, Mamoun Darkazanli, who had power of attorney for a German bank account in the name of a man thought to be Osama bin Laden's finance chief. Darkazanli denied any ties to terrorists last week...
Halberstam, a former sports editor and managing editor of The Crimson, has been here before: War in a Time of Peace is a “younger sibling,” he says, to The Best and the Brightest (1972), his renowned account of the men who led the U.S. into the war in Vietnam. After covering the early civil rights movement and reporting in the field from Vietnam—for which he won a Pulitzer Prize in 1964—Halberstam left the New York Times in 1967 and began to write books full-time two years later...

Two of these six were Lusztig’s grandmother...
...communers arguing about who will do the dishes and whether or not Anna (Jessica Liedberg) can go bottomless in the kitchen. Moodysson, however, goes a step farther and we soon see that they are not hypocrites, but merely people trying to live by unattainable ideals and failing to account for their own humanity: Anna has become a lesbian for political reasons and her ex-husband Lasse (Ola Norell) cannot accept it, no matter what he believes. Goran (Gustaf Hammarsten), the film’s emotional center, cannot accept his open relationship with his self-absorbed girlfriend (Anja Lundqvist) Lena...
